Speaking with Toby Maclaurin, commercial manager of Ocean Independence, he shared that the brokerage market is “at the same level as the last couple of years – we aren’t any better but equally, we aren’t any worse off, and we are continuing to sell yachts.” Regarding the market of this year compared with previous trends, Maclaurin explains that “2012 was very similar to 2011, and 2013 is shaping up to be remarkably similar to the last couple of years. For the buyers, we are seeing exceptionally good buys out there with owners looking to remain in the market and simply trade in, upgrade or downsize. Although sellers may have to list at a lower price, they will in turn be able to purchase their next yacht at a cheaper price.”
The week running 6 – 12 August saw three sales completed, 14 new central agencies announced, and four price reductions made.
